This book presents the work of the Spanish architect Julio Salcedo
in a series of built and speculative projects. Salcedo's houses,
early achievements that stunned both academic and professional
circles with their fresh originality and precocious sophistication,
are presented along with unpublished competition proposals for
large-scale buildings. The projects' varying locales, scales and
ambitions all demonstrate a commitment to architecture as a
conceptual medium with the capacity to tackle complex ideas as well
as a material practice of transformative, worldly practicality.
Each is a built essay that works through architectural problems of
form, construction and material to achieve thought-provoking
resolutions of a difficult yet satisfying beauty. The book
complements a thorough graphic documentation of selected projects
with Salcedo's own writings and critical essays by Luis Rojo and
Ivan Rupnik. They situate the projects in Salcedo's multi-faceted
conceptual and professional world and place them in the context of
the constellation of ideas that currently shape and propel the
field. "...Julio Salcedo's ongoing interest in landscape and urban
design has informed his architectural work, producing a rich,
invested and responsible practice. In all, I believe his work
illustrates his ambition to inform even modest architectural
projects with broader issues present in contemporary practice,
something that I believe speaks highly for his intense and profound
interest in design." Rafael Moneo
